Attention mechanics, Audi lovers, dreamers, grease monkeys, artisans, miscreants!

Selling my BEAUTIFUL (NOT RUNNING) 2005.5 Audi S4.

I would prefer NOT TO but have a couple things standing in my way:

1.) It needs work and I don't have the time to do it.
2.) Wife says no "project" cars for daddy.

Initially, I'd purchased this car from Windy City Motorsports in Lombard, IL.

Their ad said there might be a timing chain/tensioner issue. I brought it out West, had a go and my super-mechanic buddy found that a timing chain had given out and that I was looking at a bent valve I think. So we could either wrench on it OR swap if for a $4k to $5k engine. Which is fine by me, it's an awesome (originally almost $50k), car that I'd be HAPPY to work on and get back on the road.

My wife, however, differs with me on this point.

Also, I was JUST offered a new job that will have me away from home more often. Soooo....

(EBAY won't allow a link here: you can check out the original ad at the "Windy City Motorsports" - in Lombard, IL- website...SORRY!)

The car is beautiful. It got dusty in transit. I've washed, parked and covered it.

I have some video of the car when it first arrived and some pix too. I'll try to figure out how to transfer the pix from my video camera to the computer but for now I have the pix you see here.

ALSO

There are a few scratches on those pretty black wheels (made by shipper). Not too bad and it's Plasti Dip which can be easily covered or peeled and re-applied, a SUPER easy fix. I'll work on getting some pix up.

The front, right tire was flat, I replaced it with a new one.

I THINK that's everything. A lovely 05.5 Audi S4 in need of some TLC from the right person.

Email Christo anytime...

Cheers!

 
***MAKE AN OFFER!*** The worst thing that can happen is I say no. ***MAKE AN OFFER!***

***P.S.***
As a footnote to those who are unfamiliar. THEY ALL BREAK. No matter how well a person claims to have maintained their AUDI, they ALL have timing chain and timing belt issues. The best thing to look for when purchasing a used Audi (if you don't want to be working on it yourself), is to find someone who's had the timing belts OR chains changed/examined/maintained approximately every 80k miles. Tensioners, Ternsioner Guides...all need to be INTENTIONALLY managed in order for an Audi (engine), to have a long, happy life. Otherwise, you buy the car, it's running, then, BLAMO...it stops and you've just bought yourself an EXPENSIVE fixer (which was probably not your intension).

This one here...an IN-expensive fixer ready for the right home. ***All offers considered.

GOOD LUCK & HAPPY HUNTING!

Audi A8 and S8 get another video tease

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

If there was any doubt before about which car(s) Audi recently teased in a video, now we know for sure. Audi has released another teaser video that confirms we'll at least be seeing the 2015 Audi S8 (and very likely the A8 as well) in the near future, but the big surprise is just how soon we'll see the new flagship sedan. We originally expected to see the sedan receive its official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but now Audi says that the car will be presented about three weeks before the event on August 21.
How do we know this is the S8? Well, aside from it obviously being a large sedan, the true tell that this is its A8/S8 is the front license plate, which clearly shows "S8" on it - we've been doing this long enough to know that Audi's promotional license plates have the model designation in the plate number. As for other details, Audi's trick Matrix headlights shine through the thin veil in what should be the crown jewel of the sedan's new face. There's a little more than a week to go until the car is unveiled, but for now, check out the video below.

Updated Audi R8 GT caught testing

Fri, 31 May 2013

When Audi introduced the refreshed 2014 R8, one of the first things we noticed was that the new R8 V10 Plus offers identical output to the outgoing R8 GT, suggesting that this limited-production model was either due to be cancelled or poised for a serious power increase. Fortunately, these spy shots have us suspecting that the latter is more likely.
Like the previous R8 GT, this new model will likely hit the gym, dropping some weight and packing more punch, but while that's all speculative, we do see that better handling is definitely in the cards. Aside from the aero-improving chin spoiler, fascia winglets and fixed rear wing, this R8 also has upgraded brakes with bigger calipers and what appear to be cross-drilled ceramic rotors. We hear output could be increased from the current 560 horsepower up closer to the 600-hp range, and laid to the pavement via Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system. It also very likely that Audi will keep production numbers for a 2014 R8 GT rather low, with the outgoing model limited to just 333 units globally.

Volkswagen might cut 40 models across brands to save cash

Mon, Jun 20 2016

Volkswagen once set out to pass Toyota and General Motors and become the largest automaker in the world. Following months of fallout from the diesel emissions scandal, the manufacturer is rumored to be dropping around 40 models from its company-wide lineup. According to German business and finance publication Handelsblatt, the Volkswagen Group is looking to slim down and remove a number of low-volume vehicles from various lineups. The company currently sells around 340 models across brands that include Audi, Lamborghini, and Bentley. Volkswagen is refusing to comment, but Handelsblatt claims to have sources within the company. Last week, Volkswagen Group CEO Matthias Muller announced a new strategy for the company that includes a major focus on electric vehicles and new technology services. During his announcement, Muller said the company would be cutting a number of models, but at the time no numbers, models, or brands were discussed. Despite comments to the contrary, rumors have persisted since late last year that Volkswagen was looking to sell commercial truck and bus manufacturer MAN. Volkswagen owns truck and bus manufacturer Scania, so even if it dropped MAN, the company would still have a foothold within the bus and truck market. There is also talk of the company selling Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati, which Volkswagen acquired via Audi in 2012. The company's image has taken a huge hit in the wake of the diesel scandal. Volkswagen has set aside cash in order to pay fines and may be looking to sell these several subsidiaries and cut low-volume models in order offset the costs. Despite the scandal, the company led worldwide sales in the first quarter of 2016. The same was true in 2015, but sales tanked at the end of the year following the diesel revelations.
